Literate Ape is a literary digital 'zine and a dumping place for the random musings of a small shrewdness of diverse apes who managed to learn to read and write and use computers.

ABOUT THE APES IN CHARGE

Don Hall — co-editor

Don Hall is a freelance events consultant, founder of Literate Ape and author of four books including Belief is a Sledgehammer, Like a Burning Moth With No Idea How He Caught on Fire, and Strippers, Guns, and the Holocaust Museum.

David Himmel — co-editor

David Himmel is the author of the books A Camp Story and the forthcoming The Last DJ. An award-winning journalist, he is a contributor to POLITICO and is the former editor in chief of Chicago Health magazine.

Happy 2019! The Chimps jump right into a search of David’s disdain for Chicago in the knowledge of Don’s leaving the place for Vegas, the fact that David really doesn’t want to be seen as “that guy with a boat,” anxious people who bake cookies to deal with it, Don’s utter dismissal of the pseudo-science behind S.A.D., and a highly offensive discussion of the recent NPR poll that indicates that a majority of Americans think P.C. culture has gone too far.

Given that you’re bored and aimless enough to sit and listen to these two rubes at all, Captain Ron and the Asshiole toss out six activities for you that may or may not fill the S.A.D. induced void you wallow in daily.
